Gear Check

Everything you need before you hit the water — tap to check it off.

From the paperwork at home to the cooler at the dock — run through this before every trip. Tap an item once it's packed; your progress saves right in this browser, so if you get pulled away mid-pack, it's all still checked off when you come back. Hit reset before your next outing.

Most gear is the same either way — this just swaps the few items that aren't.
